Built From The Mud

Yeah
No blueprint, no blessing, just grind
We ain't born lucky out here
We built for it, ay

Came from 'em back roads, no silver plates
Where the lights cut off if the rent's too late
Mama held it down with a cross and a fight
Daddy ain't stay, but I still found light

Felt broke, felt lost, felt played by fate
But pressure made the diamond I ain't built to break
Wouldn't raise for applause, just raise to survive
I don't need a crown, I just came to rise

I was built from the mud, born from the pain
Raised on the loss, now I'm running the game
Didn't fold, didn't beg, didn't run from the rain
Turned struggle to strength, I don't move the same

I was built from the mud, made for the fight
Kept walking when the world told me I ain't right
Now I shine like scars on a warrior's chest
I ain't perfect, just passed every test

I ain't chasing clout, I'm chasing peace
I want land, legacy, not likes or streams
They flexing chains, I'm breaking 'em off
Built from nothing, still rising like moss

Seen the fakes, seen the snakes, seen doubt from blood
Had my own thoughts tell me I wasn't enough
But I talk back now, God got in my gut
In a future on fire that can't be touched

This for the kids in the dark, dreaming loud
This for the ones who still standing proud
Even with nothing, they still got soul
Still got hope that can't be controlled

I was built from the mud, born from the flame
Lost a lot, but never lost my name
Pain in my past but proud in my eyes
Still walking like a king through cloudy skies

I was built from the mud, yeah, that's my root
So when I speak, know it comes with truth
To every kid out there that's fightin' to live
You ain't broken, you're built for this

Yeah, you ain't got to be perfect
You just gotta keep pushing
Phantom Army
